Este libro recopila los mitos y leyendas de origen mapuche más importantes que se conservan hasta hoy. Más de cincuenta fascinantes relatos en torno a acontecimientos extraordinarios, fantásticos y trascendentes relativos a lo cósmico, a la creación y destrucción del mundo y del ser humano, donde intervienen dioses y semidioses. Narraciones que combinan elementos reales y comprobables con otros maravillosos e imaginarios: por qué un lago del sur es salado, de dónde proviene el nombre de una flor, cómo se extinguió un volcán o de qué manera un espíritu poderoso ayudó a la comunidad. En estas páginas no solo se habla de lugares o personas específicas que los protagonizan, sino de un mundo mágico y a veces remoto, poblado de espíritus que colaboran con la gente o se enfrentan a ellas. También de seres humanos que consiguen una profunda relación con la naturaleza, al punto que terminan transformados en piedras, ríos o árboles. Grandes creadores de los epew (cuentos), los mapuche fueron consolidando allí un vívido universo poblado de seres fantásticos; animales monstruosos, ríos y mares que cobran vida; entes sobrenaturales que conviven con la gente, flores y árboles sanadores; brujos y chamanes, ánimas tutelares, diluvios, terremotos y maremotos que cambian la fisonomía del lugar y volcanes indómitos habitados por espíritus que transforman su entorno. Estas lecturas ayudan a comprender la cosmovisión de un pueblo que ha sido base de nuestro crecimiento como nación. Muchos de estos relatos tienen influencias de la cultura occidental, pero adquieren un renovado fulgor y fuerte originalidad marcados por el particular entorno geográfico, las costumbres y rituales mapuche y su coherente religiosidad.

Gnosis means knowledge. But we are not referring to just any knowledge. Gnosis is knowledge which produces a great transformation in those who receive it. Knowledge capable of nothing less than waking up man and helping him to escape from the prison in which he finds himself. That is why Gnosis has been so persecuted throughout the course of history, because it is knowledge considered dangerous for the religious and political authorities who govern mankind from the shadows. Every time this religion, absolutely different from the rest, appears before man, the other religions unite to try to destroy or hide it again. Primordial Gnosis is the original Gnosis, true Gnosis, eternal Gnosis, Gnostic knowledge in its pure form. Due to multiple persecutions, Primordial Gnosis has been fragmented, distorted and hidden.

How do children construct, negotiate and organize space? The study of social space in any human group is fraught with limitations, and to these we must add the further limits involved in the study of childhood. Here specialists from archaeology, history, literature, architecture, didactics, museology and anthropology build a body of theoretical and methodological approaches about how space is articulated and organized around children and how this disposition affects the creation and maintenance of social identities. Children are considered as the main actors in historic dynamics of social change, from prehistory to the present day. Notions on space, childhood and the construction of both the individual and the group identity of children are considered as a prelude to papers that focus on analyzing and identifying the spaces which contribute to the construction of children’s identity during their lives: the places they live, learn, socialize and play. A final section deals with these same aspects, but focuses on funerary contexts, in which children may lose their capacity to influence events, as it is adults who establish burial strategies and practices. In each case authors ask questions such as: how do adults construct spaces for children? How do children manage their own spaces? How do people (adults and children) build (invisible and/or physical) boundaries and spaces?

For more than fifteen years, Nomadic Subjects has guided discourse in continental philosophy and feminist theory, exploring the constitution of contemporary subjectivity, especially the concept of difference within European philosophy and political theory. Rosi Braidotti's creative style vividly renders a productive crisis of modernity. From a feminist perspective, she recasts embodiment, sexual difference, and complex concepts through relations to technology, historical events, and popular culture. This thoroughly revised and expanded edition retains all but two of Braidotti's original essays, including her investigations into epistemology's relation to the "woman question;" feminism and biomedical ethics; European feminism; and the possible relations between American feminism and European politics and philosophy. A new piece integrates Deleuze and Guattari's concept of the "becoming-minoritarian" more deeply into modern democratic thought, and a chapter on methodology explains Braidotti's methods while engaging with her critics. A new introduction muses on Braidotti's provocative legacy.
